adopted verbatim upon entering

of public opinion in this region

back oft the laws, enforcement
was very difficult. In the same
way many laws today are only
half-heartedly enforced because

The action for damages of the
Ashland Baptist church against
the First Baptist Church Inc.,
will be called in the circuit court
next Monday, Judge Whiter M.
Evans of Portland presiding. The
suit is the outgrowth of a religi­
ous row in the flock three years
agq, following a series of revival
meetings conducted by the Rev.
Charles 8. Price, so-called “divine
healer.”
The complaint alleges that the
First Baptist Church,, incorpor­
ated for the sole purpose of gain­
ing possession of the church
property, that old members were
denied membership, that the new
wing embraced “Holly Rollerism’'
which is in conflict with estab­
lished Baptist teachings, and

* W ill Ron for Republican
Nomination
Jay H. Upton of Bend, former
president of the senate, today
announced hie candidacy for
Governor in the following plat­
form:
“I am forty six years old. I
am a Republican. I expect to win.
but if I should not, I will sup­
port the man who can defeat me
at the Republican primaries.
"I will give the people a dig­
nified, efficient and economical
business administration. I will
be Governor of Jill the people of
Oregon.
“As president -of the Senate in
1923, I appointed a Ways nnd
Means committee who cut ap-
pr optât ions below the demands
of the budget makers and saved
the taxpayers more than one mil­
lion dollars. Expense can be cut
if those in authority have nerve
enough to cut them. There bus
been too much slackness. I will
put a stop to Juncket trips by
those who hold office under me
and will endeavor to stop that
practice in other departments.
The way to economize Is to stop
spending.
"We have too much regula­

“All laws must be enforced

four miners are believed to re­

FAIRMONT, W. Va.. Jan. 15.
— (LP) — Hampered by gigantic
piles of debris, and dense smoke
which permeated the entire mine,
three thousand feet below the
surface, rescue workers toiled
heroically here today, in an effort
to reach the 38 miners' who were
entombed last night in No. 8 mine
of the Jamison Coke and Coal
company.
The miners were trapped un­
derground by an explosion, shortly
after midnight last night.
Jagged timbers, piled in the
debris, and huge mounds of earth,
reinforced with large boulders,
slowed up the rescue work.
Several of the miners who were

Four bodies were brought out
from the smoke filled recesses,
